Thanks to the unwavering commitment of tens of

thousands of supporters, we are making excellent

progress in our effort to complete the National

Museum of the Marine Corps and Marine Corps

Heritage Center. Our mission demands that the

service of all Marines be permanently honored,

and the completion of this magnificent complex

is the means by which that tribute will be fully

rendered. I thank all of our donors for their continuing generosity as

we pursue this honorable goal.

This is a fitting moment to recognize the service of Lieutenant

General Ron Christmas, USMC (Ret), who retired in September

as President of the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation. General

Christmas, who became our President in 1997, led the Foundation

through a period of unsurpassed growth and development. His tenure

is marked by extraordinary accomplishment, which is manifested

in the National Museum and Heritage Center of today that serve

as incomparable public showcases for the contributions and culture

of our Corps.

In keeping with the finest traditions of our Corps, we will honor

LtGen Christmas’ legacy of superb leadership with a dinner at the

National Museum this October. As General Christmas retires, we

offer him our heartfelt thanks as we welcome aboard his successor,

Lieutenant General Robert Blackman, USMC (Ret). LtGen

Blackman has smoothly assumed the responsibilities as President

and CEO after a thorough transition with LtGen Christmas. I am

confident he will be imminently successful in leading the Foundation

during the years ahead.

On behalf of our Directors and staff, I am deeply grateful for

your support. I ask that you continue to answer our call in the

effort to complete the National Museum of the Marine Corps and

Marine Corps Heritage Center. To each of you, I again extend my

sincere appreciation.

Semper Fidelis,

Board of Directors

4 s e n t i n e l

m a r i n e c o r p s h e r i ta g e f o u n d at i o n

During Lieutenant

General Ron Christmas’ tenure as President, the Marine Corps Heritage

Foundation has grown from a modest entity dedicated to Marine Corps scholarship and historical research to a large and complex enterprise focused on honoring the service of all Marines to our Nation.

General Christmas’ ability to rally the

family of Marines in this cause resulted

in the creation of the National Museum

of the Marine Corps and Marine Corps

Heritage Center. We are indebted to General

Christmas for his outstanding record of

leadership through a period of extraordinary

change and growth.

As LtGen Christmas’ successor, I am

deeply honored to be entrusted with the

leadership of the Marine Corps Heritage

Foundation. Our primary focus will remain

consistent: to ensure that the service of every

Marine, from the founding of our Corps in

1775 to the present, is properly honored at

our National Museum. The current Museum

depicts the contributions of Marines from

1775 through the end of the Vietnam War

in 1975. We must ensure that post-Vietnam

Marines, especially our current generation

serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, receive their

due recognition alongside all who have gone

before. Completing the National Museum

is the means by which this recognition will

be realized.

It is very clear that this important mission

can only be attained with your sustained

support. All of us will continue to count on

you as well as that of other loyal supporters

as we seek to complete the National Museum

and Heritage Center as a tribute to the service

of all Marines.

Here are notable accomplishments since our

last update:

■ The Foundation successfully raised

$10.3 million in new gifts and pledges

during 2010, versus a goal of $9.1 million.

This fundraising momentum reflects the

vitality of our exceptionally motivated and

loyal supporters. Our donors, small and

large, are steadfastly demonstrating that

project completion remains a worthy and

compelling cause. We thank each and every

one of our donors, whether in the individual,

corporate, or foundation segments, for their

sustained generosity. Our current year goals

are aggressive, with a target of $9.8 million

to be raised toward our overall $105 million

campaign goal.

■ Visits to the National Museum now

exceeds 2.5 million. This figure places the

National Museum among the most popular

and visited attractions in the Commonwealth

of Virginia. As you will read below, additional

facilities are in development and visitation is

only expected to grow as the Heritage Center

provides new public offerings.

■ A foremost priority in expanding the

National Museum is to ensure that the

current generation of Marines, especially

those who have served and sacrificed in Iraq

and Afghanistan, receive their own distinct

tribute. Accordingly, planning commenced

earlier this year on new galleries that will

complete the Marine Corps timeline by

depicting the contributions of Marines from

Vietnam forward. The exhibit plans will focus

on significant historical events involving post-

Vietnam Marines, including Beirut (1982-

84), Grenada (1983), Panama (1989), Desert

Shield/Desert Storm (1990-1991), Somalia

(1992-1995), Operation Enduring Freedom

in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom,

humanitarian and disaster relief missions and

responses to other crises worldwide.

■ A major visitor attraction was recently

completed with the dedication of the final

trail segments and newest monuments at

Semper Fidelis Memorial Park. The Park

complements the National Museum very well

and has increasingly become an integral part

of the visitor experience. The Park resonates

with Marine veterans and family members

who recall shared service experiences and

sacrifices in a tranquil setting.

■ A floor-to-ceiling window in Semper

Fidelis Memorial Chapel recognizing the

virtue of Sacrifice was dedicated in honor of

Father Vincent Capodanno, the legendary

Navy Chaplain who was posthumously

awarded the Medal of Honor for his courage,

love for his fellow man, and sacrifice in

Vietnam with the Marines.

■ A major new facility now being planned

is the Hotel and Conference Center to be

located on the Heritage Center grounds

at the far end of the parking lot from the

National Museum. This project is being

accomplished on a commercial partnership

model. Prospective developers have been

briefed, and the developer selection process

has commenced. These new facilities will

expand the functionality of the Heritage

Center campus.

■ The National Museum’s education

program continues to evolve. It has become

an increasingly important outreach channel in

support of our mission. More than 129,000

students have visited the National Museum

as members of organized school visits.

Expanding beyond established elements

such as the teacher-in-residence program

and structured support of Standards of

Learning curricula in civics and social studies,

the education program is now beginning to

focus on underserved educational needs and

distance learning initiatives.

As we had hoped,

Semper Fidelis Memorial Park has become an inspiring place of reverence and refl ection.

It was important to us that visitors to the

National Museum of the Marine Corps and

Marine Corps Heritage Center not only

experience American history through the

eyes of Marines in exhibits and artifacts, but

to have Semper Fidelis Memorial Park as a

special place to stroll quietly and remember

those who have gone before us and the

legacy they have left us to honor and uphold.

On April 14, 1.1 miles of trails were

completed in the Park and dedicated. Th e

new Americans with Disability Act (ADA)

compliant pathways provide additional

access to Semper Fidelis Memorial Chapel

and the southern section of the Old Kings

Highway as well as Prince William County

Park Authority’s Locust Shade Park.

Th e Park’s pathways are lined with more

than 20 organizational monuments that

were installed in the last year as well as many

sponsored benches and now more than

16,000 commemorative bricks are placed

honoring Marines, both past and present,

as well as their units and family members.

Th ese landmarks throughout the Park allow

visitors to refl ect about Marines and the

sacrifi ce they make while serving

our country.

Today, with the Park completed, we look

ahead to many more exciting things to come:

■ Planning the remainder of the Heritage

Center Parkway. With planning underway

and construction documents expected

no later than November of this year,

construction is anticipated to start in 2012.

■ In conjunction with the Director of

the National Museum of the Marine

Corps and her staff , we have completed

the reprogramming process for all of the

remaining spaces in the Phase II build out of

the National Museum, with the exception of

the Large Screen Th eater, which is currently

being reviewed by a special working group.

■ Planning and actions leading to the

selection of a developer/operator for a Hotel

and Conference Center at the Heritage

Center continue. Plans for the new upscale

hotel and conference center with event space

will feature a full service restaurant and

lounge, an indoor/outdoor pool, a fi tness

center, gift shop, and business center.

Th ese new developments will contribute

signifi cantly to the growth of travel and

tourism to Prince William County and

benefi t not only Marines and their families

visiting the National Museum of the Marine

Corps and Quantico Marine Corps Base,

but also all those visiting the many historic

attractions in the area. ★

For 2012, the Foundation will continue

to accomplish its mission–to preserve and

propagate the history, traditions and culture

of the Marine Corps as well as to educate all

Americans in its virtues. Here are a few items

to keep an eye out for:

■ Celebration of the 100th Anniversary

of Marine Corps Aviation with a combat

art exhibit in the Smithsonian Air & Space

Museum in Washington, DC.

■ Chesty’s Corner (Children’s Gallery

Space) will open in the spring allowing the

youngest Museum visitors up to 12 years of

age to explore and learn about Marine Corps

uniforms, knot tying, colonial period Marines,

art projects, story-telling and more in two

different areas of the Museum.

■ The Education Department within the

Museum has two great programs they will

continue this fall–Art for Wounded Marines

and Geography Week. Our e-newsletter will

provide the details.

■ The National Museum of the Marine

Corps Virtual Tour will be updated by

December 2011 and will include Defending

the New Republic, Global Expeditionary

Force, and World War I Galleries as well as

new docent interviews.

■ The National Museum of the Marine

Corps is not yet complete. Our 2012

fundraising efforts will focus on being able

to tell the story of today’s Marines as soon as

possible. Your support and dedication to this

cause will help us achieve this goal. ★

Th at might not seem so monumental until

you see the results: three large boxes of

assembled policy documents, procedures,

reports, and data, the sum total of which

adds up to a museum that meets or exceeds

the standards of the profession. Th at’s what

we hope our AAM accreditation inspection

team will think when they visit in the

months ahead. I’m often asked if the long

process and cost of accreditation is really

worth it. Th e reply is always an enthusiastic

“Yes.” It is a kind of good housekeeping seal

of approval, and more.

It says to donors that this Museum

will care for their valued treasures if they

become part of our collection. It signifi es

to grantors and funding agencies that we

will responsibly deliver on our promise to

provide quality programming that reaches

our stakeholders. It sends a signal to

supporters that we can be trusted to expend

that support in a fashion that will make

them proud. Yes, the process is worth it.

As promised last year, the curators and

registrar’s team delivered on a fi rm count

of objects in the collection. Th e number

came in at 33,000. Even if we hadn’t been

under the gun to provide the results of

an inventory as part of accreditation, we

would have wanted to complete this review

of our collections. You might be interested

in the breakdown. Th ere are about 17,700

objects in the uniforms and heraldry

collection; 4,600 in the general collection;

7,100 ordnance and ground vehicle objects;

and 3,600 aviation artifacts. Add to that

some 6,000 works of art. Th e curators

are constantly refi ning their collections,

too, adding to them selectively to build

the best possible material history record

of the Marine Corps. Some of the objects

added to the collection in recent months

include a large collection of art works

from Colonel Charles Waterhouse, one of

the sledgehammers used by the Marines

during the raid on Harpers Ferry, an M1A1

Abrams tank and a Cougar MRAP that

saw service in Iraq and Afghanistan, Justice

Chambers’ Medal of Honor for action on

Iwo Jima, Pappy Boyington’s sword and

aviator wings, and Peter Ortiz’s medals from

World War II. Don’t you wish you could see

all those things now?

Th at could happen! Th e Museum team

saw steady progress in the planning of

a second building for the Marine Corps

Heritage Center campus. It has been

proposed and programmed as part of the

military construction initiative. Th ough

not approved yet, it bears the designation

“P-492” and could be built in 2014-2016.

Th is nearly 300,000-square-foot building

would house all those objects not currently

on display as well as our restoration and

conservation operations. Plans call for this

building to have some public access. While

visitors wouldn’t get to see everything, they

would have “eyes on” many additional objects

and see artifact restoration in real time. Th is

new building would allow the Museum to

relocate its collections from 11 buildings

on or near Marine Corps Base Quantico,

most of which are not providing the kind

of quality care historical objects need. And

equally important, resident commands at

Quantico could use those spaces to grow

their own programs, including Marine

Corps University. Everyone needs more

room. Relocating the Museum’s operations

is a fi rst step to many much-needed

improvements. And we are so happy to help!

Because this new museum support

building is now a real possibility, the

Museum-Foundation team recently

reviewed the design for Phase II of the

Museum, looking for effi ciencies. And we

found some. Th e reprogramming eff ort

netted us an increase in new gallery space by

relocating the visible storage area planned

for the second deck to P-492 instead, along

with some collections-related art storage

and workrooms. With so much important

Marine Corps history to bring to life, we

So much of what happened this year at the Museum—from the perspective of the staff—happened behind the scenes, except that

we’ve been seeing record-breaking numbers of visitors and students in our galleries: 535,000 in 2010 and so far in 2011 we’ve bettered those numbers four months out of six. As promised, the Museum completed a detailed self-study for the American Association of Museums as part of the museum accreditation process.

wanted just as much additional exhibit area

as possible. Visitors will fi nd the art gallery

on the expanded second deck, easy to visit

upon leaving the giant-screen theater.

With construction of Phase II just over

the horizon, the Museum and Foundation

recently defi ned in general terms our vision

for the signature destination fi lm we will

show in the new theater. Th e 30-45-minute

action-packed fi lm should:

■ Put the viewer in the boots of Marines in

the air-ground team, up close and personal,

in times of peace (no better friend) and war

(no worst enemy).

■ Excite the audience about today’s

Marine Corps but also provide glimpses

of its proud heritage.

■ Inspire pride in being an American and

pride in this country’s premier fi ghting force.

Motivate viewers to discover more about the

subject in our galleries.

We’ve started the process of visiting with

creative people who work in this giant-

screen niche of fi lm-making, and we are

excited about creating an experience that

will be heart-thumping, emotional, and

inspiring. Just imagine what we can do

on the big screen!

Phase II will give us the opportunity

to capture the history of the Corps since

Vietnam. What stories will we tell? What

artifacts will illustrate those stories? What

environments should we recreate? Answers

to these questions will be discovered in the

years ahead, but over the last 12 months

we verifi ed the core messages we believe

to be important and identifi ed those large

artifacts that will be required so that we can

get a jump on preparing them for exhibition.

Because building these next 80,000+ square

feet will require our breaking through walls

in Leatherneck Gallery, we’re going to take

the opportunity to move aircraft around

in this high-bay space. We’ll be adding a

World War II SBD Dauntless dive bomber

to the mix, and that old workhorse is being

restored by our staff now. Can’t you just see

it fl ying across the Tawara beach landing

scene? Th is is going to be an excellent

addition to the mix.

But out visitors don’t have to wait until

Phase II opens to see something new. Again

this year, we populated the second deck

with a rotation of traveling exhibits. Our

newest is “When Janey Comes Marching

Home,” a portrait show curated by Virginia

Commonwealth University. It showcases

large-scale photographs of women serving

today in all branches of the military. We

invited the Women Marines Association

to fi ll a nearby case with treasures from

their considerable collection to add even

more depth to the exhibit. Next up will

be a show jointly sponsored by the State

Department and the Marine Security Guard

that will tell the story of Marines serving

at embassies around the world. Meanwhile

on the fi rst deck, we opened a temporary

exhibit marking the 10th anniversary of

Desert Storm/Desert Shield in February.

Coming soon to Legacy Walk, just outside

the “Making Marines” gallery, is a photo

show by embedded Australian photographer

Stephen Dupont. In the months ahead, you

will also see a special 9/11 remembrance

exhibition, our fi rst children’s exhibit areas

called “Chesty’s Corners” and a Purple

Heart exhibit. And we’ll be marking the

centennial of Marine Corps Aviation at

the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space

Museum with a joint aviation art show,

opening in January 2012 and running

for the entire year. We want to give you

lots of reasons to keep coming back and

recommending the Museum to others.

We believe that word-of-mouth

advertising is working on the student tour

front, too. Our education staff welcomed

over 40,000 students and their chaperones

in 2010, and we’re tracking ahead of that

number for the fi rst six months of 2011.

In addition to adding new puppet shows

to their repertoire, the educators devised

an event for National Geography Month

that promises to be a repeat performance

for 2011. With several new partners, we

hosted over 400 students in an interactive

exploration. Young learners sought to answer

the question “Where in the world are the

Marines?” 2010-11 teacher-in-residence

Barbara Daniels led this initiative. In its

fourth year now, the teacher-in-residence

program, sponsored by the Marine Corps

Heritage Foundation, allows us to add a

regional teacher to our staff , giving us insider

networking capability with the area school

systems and an additional much-needed pair

of hands on deck.

We again say “thank you” to our many

friends and supporters who have shown

confi dence in the Museum-Foundation

team. As we prepare for some additional

belt-tightening on the Federal front, it is

comforting to know that the Marine Corps

Heritage Foundation and its members stand

ready to enhance our programs—and our

footprint. It is a dynamic partnership! ★

Th is year’s Awards Program welcomed

submissions from around the globe, to

include New Zealand, Guam, and the

UK. For the fi rst time in the history of

the MCHF Awards Program, honors

were given in the categories of dispatch

reporting (to include blogs), poetry, and

fi lm. Th ese new categories complemented

the existing categories that recognized

journalists and photographers. Th is year’s

program included a Special Recognition Award for Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks,

and Gary Goetzman for their epic series

“Th e Pacifi c,” which focuses on the United

States Marine Corps’ actions in the Pacifi c

Th eater of Operations within the wider

Pacifi c War. Also noteworthy was the 2011

John A. Lejeune Award recipient, FedEx

Corporation’s chairman, president and CEO

Fred Smith, who, through his commitment

to the Marine Corps has demonstrated

exemplary leadership and epitomizes the

Marine Corps’ core values of honor, courage,

and commitment. Without leaders and

supporters like Fred Smith, the Foundation

and our nation would not be the success

it is today. He demonstrates leadership

in so many ways we cannot list them all,

but to mention a few, he is a member of

the Aviation Hall of Fame, served as co-

chairman of both the U.S. World War II

Memorial Project and the campaign for the

National Museum of the Marine Corps,

was named among the world’s best CEOs

by BARRON’S magazine and was CHIEF

EXECUTIVE magazine’s 2004 “CEO of

the Year.”

Also awarded this year was the

Distinguished Service Award, which was

deservedly given to Brigadier General Jerry

McKay, USMC (Ret) in recognition of his

extraordinary contributions to the work

of the Foundation and to Marine Corps

history. BGen McKay devoted almost ten

years to the building and expansion of the

National Museum of the Marine Corps

and Heritage Center. His dedication to

this cause is never ending and words can

never truly express how grateful both the

Foundation and Museum teams are for his

hard work.

Here is a complete list of the MCHF

Awards and their recipients:

Th e Sergeant Major Dan Daly Award

is for a distinguished example of still

photography by an individual, in black and

white or color, which consists of a collection

of photographs capturing U.S. Marines or

Marine Corps life. Th is year’s recipient is

Marine Corps Sergeant Mark Fayloga.

More than 40 years ago while on a

troopship somewhere between Yokosuka,

Japan, and San Francisco, Mr. Robert

Gannon began his military poetry writing

mission. Telling veteran stories through lines

of poetry allowed Bob to tell of these brave

men’s valor. His poems appear on many war

monuments all over the United States and

Japan, specifi cally at the Beirut Memorial

outside the gates of Camp LeJeune, NC, and

at the Sixth Marine Division Monument

here at Quantico National Cemetery. Bob’s

writings are why the committee created

the Robert A. Gannon Award for a

distinguished volume of original verse by

a Marine poet dealing with Marine Corps

life. Ms. Nancie Saxton published a book

of poetry in honor of her father, Marine

Sergeant Richard Saxton, and is the fi rst

recipient of this award for a distinguished

volume of original verse by a Marine poet

dealing with Marine Corps life.

Th e General Roy S. Geiger Award

was established by Colonel G.F. Robert

Hanke, USMCR, in memory of his father,

Wing Commander Ralph Hanke, Royal

Air Force. It is named for General Geiger,

the fi fth designated naval aviator in Marine

Corps history, who commanded both air

and ground units during World War II.

Th is award is given to the author of the best

article published during the preceding year

in the Marine Corps Gazette in the fi eld of

Marine Corps aviation. Our 2011 Recipient

is Marine Lieutenant Colonel Scott B.

Clifton for his article “Flying Paper Tanks.”

There will always be individuals who contribute signifi cantly to the Marine Corps’ heritage through their talents and personal

artistic pursuits, but the media through which people express their visions will continually evolve. In the spirit of recognizing excellence in diverse art forms, the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation’s 2011 Awards Program revised its award categories and opened its program to Marines and civilians alike to ensure that anyone—in any clime and place—could submit work for proper recognition.

Museum Interns: Fresh Perspectives from Emerging Professionals

By Ashlee Forbes, Brian Briones, Julia Monahan, and Charles Grow

The National Museum of the Marine Corps opened to the public fi ve years ago. Since then the staff has premiered three major

galleries, worked toward accreditation with the American Association of Museums (AAM), started concept-level planning for the next gallery ( 1976 to present), and conceptualized a new historic preservation building. All of these projects have been driven by the Museum’s strategic plan. Despite record snows, multiple threats of government shutdowns, and two shooting incidents, the Museum continues to be on target to achieve its strategic goals. The collegiate internships funded by the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation (MCHF) continue to be key ingredients in these successes.

Th is year the Foundation enhanced

Museum operations with 17 funded

internships that comprise over 5,516 hours

–nearly three person-years in HR speak.

Graduate and undergraduate students

from around the country converged on the

Museum to perform tasks for Curatorial,

Education, Exhibits, Facilities, Registration,

Restoration, and Visitor Services. Th eir

projects include artifact research and

restoration, collections management,

educational programming, conducting an

energy effi ciency study, refi ning exhibit

design standards for Phase 2, photographing

exhibits for the new hearing impaired

handbook, and creating public service

announcements and social media videos.

Some of the students’ previous internship

experiences involved “gofer” work. Th at

is not the case at the Museum. We start

each intern with a clear vision of a win-

win outcome. Th ese bright young people

challenge the status quo, infuse us with fresh

perspectives, and almost always exceed our

expectations.

Ashlee Forbes, a Museum Studies

graduate student at the George Washington

University, writes:

“I’ve learned that practical experience is an essential supplement to a classroom education. These are the invaluable opportunities that give us a real view into the way museums function and operate. We’re encouraged to choose wisely. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to perform an internship at the National Museum of the Marine Corps. A big project of mine while interning has been to help the Registration Department prepare for AAM accreditation. This has been an amazing experience, as I’ve often heard in classes how well looked upon accreditation is, but there are very seldom in-depth discussions of the process…. NMMC has been a great place to learn about this process, as the established museum is still young enough to have room for rapid growth and change. In working with the old accession fi les, I’ve been able to see the way museum practices have changed over the years, from handwritten databases to the much more streamlined and effi cient KE EMu database

everyone uses now. The collaborative process at the Museum has also been a pleasant surprise for me to witness. As interns, we’ve been lucky to be included in exhibition planning and collections committee meetings to better impress upon us the process of running a museum of this size and caliber. NMMC has been a valuable organization in which to learn about this, being both large enough to accommodate an army of interns and visitors and young enough to learn from us while educating. Ideas from all parties are solicited and weighed equally in these meetings, reaffi rming the idea that a museum’s resources are not always monetary.

Ms. Forbes’ experience is not unique.

Supervisors are challenged to create and

maintain a collaborative environment that

pushes interns to a new level. Th is generally

results in good resumé bullets for the interns

and excellent work for the Museum.

Rachel Scott, a graduate student in the

Museum Studies program at Johns Hopkins

University, writes:

“To my pleasant surprise the curatorial section has kept me hopping between object acquisition proposals, exhibition content, and incoming object donations. I have been afforded the opportunity to experience a variety of artifacts and art

objects. Broken up by the occasional research inquiry, most of my efforts thus far have been focused on the refurbishment of the House of the Commandant of the Marine Corps—the historical home located at 8th and I Marine Barracks that serves as the residence of the Commandant, General Amos, and his family. The CMC House project has been a unique experience in many ways. This was my fi rst opportunity to work in a historical home, and an occupied home at that. This meant that the project team faced the challenges of a house built in 1806 as well as those of a private residence, and all the ways these challenges intersect. Imagine the curator as interior designer, ambassador, and historian of all art—decorative and fi ne—from the eighteenth century onward. What does that look like from an intern’s point of view? Through this project, I have been able to further my interest in the decorative arts, particularly those of the late eighteenth century and Victorian, and gained valuable experience

in both curatorial practices and historical homes that will undoubtedly serve me well in the future. In August I will be graduating from my Master’s Program at Johns Hopkins University and plan to pursue a curatorial position. My internship at the NMMC has laid the foundation on which I can continue to build. It is my hope that somewhere in my work I will be able to give back some of what the Museum has given me, leaving some catalogue fi les or object provenance better and more enriched than when I found it.”

Ms. Scott, like all of the interns, will

indeed leave the Museum better than they

found it. Th eir detail-oriented research and

fresh technical skills produce outstanding

results. But more than that, they add to the

collective knowledge about the collection

and the Corps. Th ey raise the bar and help

the Museum’s young supervisors to learn

coaching and mentoring.

Brian Briones, a masters student in

Military History at the American Military

University, writes:

“I was treated by curators as a team member rather than just an intern. I was given practical knowledge about locating, handling, and housing items in the museum’s collection and everything else I needed to excel at the tasks I was given. When I had questions, they had answers.The ordnance curators set me to work inputting information from fi eld and technical manuals into a searchable digital database. This would aid curators to quickly fi nd accurate information about objects in the collection from primary sources. Some of the sources I worked with were previously undiscovered by the team. One of the best parts about my internship is that no two days are the same. Some days, I was even allowed to go on “fi eld trips” while delivering or

At the end of December, 2010, the Division

said farewell to long–serving photo and

reference historian Lena Kaljot. Lena had

been with the Division for 28 of her 30 years

of federal service. She was instrumental

in preserving and totally reorganizing the

Division’s “one of a kind” historical photo

collection. Th anks to her diligence and

attention to duty, the photo collection is now

readily accessible to our reference historians

and for use by outside researchers.

Th is past June, the Division lost one of

our “superstars,” Reference Branch Head

Robert Aquilina. Bob’s reputation for

excellence in everything that he did was well

known throughout the Marine Corps. Bob

was the subject of numerous compliments

from current and former Commandants of

the Marine Corps, members of Congress,

senior Marine General Offi cers, as well as

thousands of visitors to the History Division

reference branch where Bob served for

nearly all of his 31 years of federal service.

His professionalism and enthusiasm for all

things related to Marine Corps History was

noted by all who ever had the pleasure to

work with him. Bob was a virtual walking

repository of information and he always

went above and beyond the call of duty in

answering queries related to Marine Corps

history. Moreover, he handled each and

every request with the aplomb of a senior

diplomat. Upon retirement, Bob received

the Department of the Navy’s Meritorious

Civilian Service Medal. On his last day with

the Division, Brigadier General Th omas

Draude, President, Marine Corps University

Foundation, presented Bob with the General

Leonard Chapman medallion for his long

and successful service to the Marine Corps.

Th e very capable Annette Amerman has

been appointed acting reference branch head

until a new hire is authorized by the Marine

Corps University. Let me just say that

Annette is “Aquilina” trained and she has

already “hit the ground running.”

Th e Histories Branch, ably led by Chief

Historian Chuck Melson, has also lost two

employees in the past 14 months. Long-

serving history writer Dr. Nathan Lowrey

moved on to take a position with the Joint

History Offi ce at the Pentagon. Th e move

involved a promotion for him and included

a much shorter commute. Fortunately for

the Division, Nate is also a colonel in the

Marine Corps Reserve and we were able

to retain his services as an integral part

of the Division’s Individual Mobilization

Augmentee Unit (IMA). Nate was our duty

expert on Operation Enduring Freedom and

thanks to his continued association with

the History Division, he is on the verge of

producing a very thorough history of Marine

Corps involvement in Afghanistan during

the fi rst 18 months of the war. Look for this

publication to be available by late fall 2011.

Th e histories branch was also hard hit

by the recent retirement of Rich Smith.

Nearly everyone associated with Marine

Corps history and heritage is aware of the

work of this fi ne historian. Rich served for

41 years as a historian with the History

Division. Like Bob Aquilina, Rich’s

knowledge of Marine Corps history was

truly extraordinary. He was the Division’s

resident expert on the early Marine Corps

and at the time of his retirement at the

end of June 2011 he was doing research

on the “Marine Corps in the Frigate Navy.”

His path-breaking work on Marines in

the Revolution is still considered the

most defi nitive history ever produced on

Continental Marine Corps. His “green book”

on the Vietnam War (1969) is also noted

for its meticulous research and detail. Rich

was also a contributor to the extensive 1968

Vietnam volume as well. Over the years,

State of Marine Corps History, Updated

by Dr. Charles P. Neimeyer

d i r e c tor of ma r i n e c or p s h i story

This past year has been one of change for the Marine Corps History Division. During the past eight months, the Division has been

living with a Corps-wide hiring freeze on all civilian billets. As a result, we have been especially hard hit due to the retirements of several key History Division employees. We should know more in a few months about where we stand in regard to being allowed to make a few key hires to replace these now retired employees. Fortunately, the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation continues to generously support the History Division with a robust summer internship program and a strong research/grant program that enables outside researchers to produce Marine Corps history-related academic studies. Such studies are often the equivalent of what is produced by our “in-house” writers, thus the research grants go a long way toward fi lling the gaps that we now have in our histories writing branch.

m a r i n e c o r p s h e r i ta g e f o u n d at i o n

Rich produced a number of commemorative

histories, articles, and occasional papers,

most notably a monograph on Operation

Sea Angel, which was, for a time, on the

Commandant’s Reading List, and a very

important occasional paper on the Journal

of Lieutenant Henry Bulls Watson,

1845-1848. He was the lead editor for

the 50th anniversary of the Korean War

commemorative series, produced in 2000.

In 2007, Rich also led the eff ort to turn the

entire set of Korean War commemoratives

into a hard-bound single volume. Strongly

supportive of the Marine Corps Heritage

Foundation, Rich managed the Division’s

Research Grant and Intern programs for

years and he personally mentored a number

of Marine Corps history scholars, many

of whom remain in contact with him to

this day. A “second to none” historian, Rich

has earned just about every Marine Corps

Heritage Foundation award that there is and

recently Lieutenant General Ron Christmas,

President, Marine Corps Heritage

Foundation, authorized the placement of

a commemorative brick at the National

Museum of the Marine Corps in honor of

Rich’s long and faithful service to Marine

Corps history.

Despite the signifi cant personnel gaps,

the Division is not letting up on the pace

of production for USMC history products.

Th is year much of our focus has been on the

commemoration of the 100th anniversary

of USMC aviation. Working closely with

a defense contracting fi rm, DTI/Kratos,

by the end of the calendar year and in

time for the January 2012 kick-off of

the Marine Corps aviation anniversary,

the History Division hopes to publish a

much anticipated Illustrated History of

Marine Corps Aviation, 1912-2012. Th is

illustrated history will be accompanied by

a fi ne collection of oral histories that will

complement the book. A few months later,

the Division will publish its own academic

history of the role that aviation played in

the development of the Marine Corps Air/

Ground Team (MAGTF). Co-authored by

Drs. Fred Allison and Tom Baughn, this

history will become an outstanding resource

for all scholars of Marine Corps History.

Not including items produced by and for the

Marine Corps University Press, the History

Division published a number of histories

of note to include Lieutenant Colonel

Dave Benhoff ’s award-winning pictorial on

Afghanistan, Alone and Unafraid.

Dr. Ken Estes, partially assisted

by a grant from the Marine Corps

Heritage Foundation, produced a very

good operational history on Marines in

Iraq 2004-2008 titled Into the Fray. Dr.

Nicholas Schlosser produced three very

fi ne publications this year and became

the fi rst recipient of the Marine Corps

Heritage Foundation Brigadier General

Edwin H. Simmons-Henry I. Shaw award

for an outstanding history produced by a

federal government historian. Ambassador

Lawrence Pope, son of Medal of Honor

Recipient Captain Everett Pope, USMC

(deceased), supplied and edited another

award-winning monograph on the battle for

Peleliu, titled Among Heroes: A Marine Rifl e

Company on Peleliu. Ambassador Pope found

this journal among his father’s papers; it had

been written by Captain Pope’s company

First Sergeant, Jack Ainsworth. Th is

previously undiscovered material has already

made a signifi cant impact upon what we

know about the battle for Peleliu. I predict

that this book will become a likely candidate

for the Commandant’s Reading List. It is

that good.

Coming up this year are more books on

Afghanistan, Iraq, and other traditional

studies related to Marine Corps history

from 1775 to the present day, including a

long-awaited defi nitive history of the Marine

Corps in Operations Desert Shield/Desert

Storm. As Director, I frequently speak

to a wide variety of veteran and patriotic

organizations on the topic of Marine Corps

history. We continue to receive numerous

compliments on our history quarterly

Fortitudine and at some point in the future

we hope to possibly produce an annual

magazine devoted solely to Marine Corps

history. Also in 2012, the Division will

release the fi rst in a series of commemorative

histories on the Vietnam War. We expect

that this series will run for the next 10 years.

Th e series will be topical and like last year

if you have some writing ability and the

desire to fi ll the few remaining topics not

yet claimed, please contact the Division’s

acquisitions editor, Dr. Stephen Evans, via

email at stephen.s.evans@usmc.mil.

In the coming year, it is anticipated

that ground will fi nally be broken for the

long awaited Brigadier General Edwin H.

Simmons wing that will be added on to the

Gray Research Center. We estimate that the

History Division will move into the new

wing no later than 2014 and will largely

occupy the third story of the structure.

As for now, we continue to occupy

much of the fi rst fl oor of the old Staff

Non-commissioned Offi cers Academy

(Building 3078). While our facilities are not

ideal, they are defi nitely a step up from the

trailers that we occupied for our fi rst four

years at Quantico.

Th e History Division’s Editing and

Design Branch has also had an exceptionally

productive year. It has recently won a

number of design awards for its work and we

hope to keep up this record of success in the

coming year. Th anks to the men and women

of this particular branch, the production of

the History Division continues to exceed

Elizabeth Bubb, one of the veterans from

2010, was working in the Reference Branch,

organizing, scanning, and captioning

photographs from Cuba, Haiti, and Mexico.

She was also sorting through and organizing

the biographic fi les to reduce duplication

and eliminate newsprint in anticipation of

the digitization project. Her last day with

History Division was 15 July; she has moved

on to permanent full-time employment with

Capstone in Alexandria.

Emily Martin, another 2010 veteran,

has also been working in Reference Branch.

Among several eff orts, she has cleaned out

the ships fi les, is working the biographic fi les

starting at the far end of the alphabet; and

as the fi rst Henry I. Shaw Fellow, worked

through the winter months doing yeoman’s

work in reducing duplication and organizing

the internal working fi les for World War II,

Korea, and Vietnam.

Also in Reference Branch is Jordyn Clark.

She is assisting in the detailed research

necessary to prepare undated Lineage and

Honors Certifi cates. While this work is

tedious, Miss Clark has done an excellent

job. She also assisted in reducing a large

backlog of fi ling news reports and other

updated reference information.

Oral history has two interns working

on the same project. Several years ago, Rob

Taglianetti discovered that the Library of

Congress had original World War II combat

recordings taken on the front lines, at times

during combat. Camille Lorei, working

out of the Packard Center in Culpeper,

Va., and Kaylyn Krzemien at Quantico are

both working on this project. Miss Lorei

is working on digitizing the interviews and

Miss Krzemien is listening to the interviews

and writing detailed summaries. Th is critical

work began last year and will take several

more years to complete.

Rachel Webb worked with the Division

last summer and briefl y over Christmas

break. She is assisting the Director with

the War of 1812 project and an updated

biography of General John A. Lejeune.

Stephanie Washburn is assisting Dr. Th omas

Baughn with the Aviation Commemorative

book and his portion of a scholarly

presentation of the fi rst 75 years of Marine

Corps aviation. Both Miss Webb and Miss

Washburn are returning from last summer.

Charles Kassir is assisting historian Paul

Westermeyer on research and confi rming

facts for the defi nitive history of the First

Gulf War.

History Division 2011 graduate grants and fellowships

Th e recently-awarded Grants and

Fellowships make up a diverse group, with

projects ranging from the use of military

language voice not normally heard in civilian

settings to a study of the Marine Corps

between the end of the Vietnam War and the

First Gulf War and how the Marine Corps

reacted to the changes in technology and

foreign policy during that time.

Dissertation Fellowships were awarded

to William Michael Marcellino and Nathan

Robert Packard. Mr. Marcellino’s is for

sociolinguistics, focusing on how ways of

speaking that support cohesion within the

Marine Corps can lead to misunderstandings

when used in the area of general American

public speech. Mr. Packard’s research

centers on the 15-year transformation and

modernization of the Marine Corps in the

aftermath of the Vietnam War, which he

intends to place in the broader context of

American foreign relations.

Master’s Th esis Fellowships went to Eric

Raymond Ethier and Ashley Loren Wilt.

Mr. Ethier plans to study 3rd MARDIV’s

experiences in the Pacifi c Th eater. Ms. Wilt

will do a comparative study through the use

of oral history interviews of the experiences

of volunteer and drafted Vietnam War

service members; anticipating the study will

determine whether if there were diff erent

memories and experiences of these veterans

based on their initial entrance into the

military service.

Research Grants were given to John

Michael Sager and Th eo J. Servetas. Mr.

Sager’s grant will fund a research trip to the

Washington DC area to examine materials at

the National Archives, Library of Congress,

Navy Archives, and Gray Research Center,

to support his dissertation, which focuses on

government and political entities involved in

the development and execution of war plans

during the Cold War Era, with particular

emphasis on the relationship between the

Secretaries of Defense and the Joint Chiefs

of Staff . Mr. Servetas’ grant will fund

photographic equipment and photograph

reproduction as he does a memorial study in

honor of his uncle, the study being a pictorial

history of 4th MARDIV during World War

II. His uncle was a photographer and served

with the division during the war. ★

de p u t y d i r e c tor , h i story d i v i s i o n

This summer, the Foundation is supporting the work of eight interns, several of them returnees from summer 2010.

m a r i n e c o r p s h e r i ta g e f o u n d at i o n

15f a l l 2 0 1 1

After a buddy of mine and I nearly fl unked out of college, we enlisted

in the Corps—it was the best decision either of us could have made!

It was 1956, and like many young men my

age, I wanted to get away from home and

family. At that time, everyone who enlisted

had a six-year obligation–two years Active

Duty and four years in the Reserves. When

I entered the Corps, my interests were tanks

and machine guns. But a chance to audition

for the band when I was in boot camp took

me down a diff erent path. I had played in

a high school band but never thought of

making a career of it. I was accepted into

the band and enjoyed it more than I could

have known. An added benefi t was my drum

major, who was the ideal role model. I looked

up to this GySgt–he was honest, ethical, and

I thought he was just the kind of man

I wanted to be. What I learned from him

and other Marines guided me professionally

and personally my entire life.

Th e band kept us busy. We played in

parades in Long Beach, Los Angeles, and

all over southern California, especially on

holidays such as Memorial Day, Veterans’

Day and the Fourth of July. We also were

in parades all over the Base on nearly a

daily basis, including Change of Command,

Battalion and Regimental Parades, and the

infamous Friday evening Sunset Guard

Mounts that always seemed to occur on an

obscure corner of Pendleton, which made us

late leaving for weekend liberty. After a year

at Camp Pendleton I went to Twenty-Nine

Palms. Th e performance highlight of my

career in the Marine band was the Rose Bowl

parade, January 1, 1958. I was marching

proudly in the front row of the band, and my

family and girlfriend got to see me on TV!

I left Active Duty in 1958. Th ere was a

recession and even the Marine Corps was

cutting back, so I wasn’t required to serve

in the reserves. However, in

my two years in the Corps, I

learned more about life and

how to live it than ever before.

It was knowledge that I used

throughout my career at GM.

I also found out that people

treat you with respect if they

know you’ve been in the Marine

Corps. And, I gained three

lifelong friends–fellow Marines with whom

I’ve been close for over 50 years.

I was considering a bequest from my

will to the MCHF because I wanted to

give something back to the Corps for the

lifetime of benefi ts I got from my service.

Th e MCHF is raising funds for our

National Museum of the Marine Corps and

preserving our history is important to me

and to Marines everywhere. I hadn’t visited

the Museum at the time, but I had followed

the growth in Leatherneck and was energized

by how the Museum was taking shape.

When I got a mailing from the Foundation

about the charitable gift annuity program,

the timing couldn’t have been better. I had

some available funds and the stability of the

gift annuity appealed to me. It is a win-win–

fi nancial benefi ts for me and my wife, Lynna,

now and a future gift to the Foundation.

When I fi nally got to see the Museum I

was blown away by it–it is truly awesome

and does justice to the Corps. I couldn’t be

more satisfi ed–the gift annuity is an ideal

way to support the mission of the MCHF.

I encourage you to explore a charitable gift

annuity–you may fi nd that it is a gift that

works for you too. ★

For information on a charitable gift annuity or other

ways to include MCHF in your estate plans, please

Why I Created My Legacy with the MCHFBy Pfc Steve Shaw, 1775 Society

THE 1775 SOCIETY

Many forward-thinking friends of the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation have demonstrated their commitment to the preservation of Marine Corps history and traditions by naming the Foundation as a benefi ciary of their estate plans. They are passionate about the importance of building the National Museum of the Marine Corps to display and preserve this proud history of the Corps for generations to come. We are letting our Marine family and

friends know that we have formally launched a program to secure legacy gifts. To recognize those who have established a planned gift for the benefi t of the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation, we formed the 1775 Society. Membership is as easy as confi rming your legacy gift –such as a bequest in a will or living trust, a charitable remainder trust, or a benefi ciary designation of an insurance policy, retirement account, or other fi nancial account. If you would like assistance with your gift or information about available opportunities, please don’t hesitate to contact us (and there is no obligation). The most meaningful benefi t of 1775 Society membership is the satisfaction derived from making a lasting contribution to our long-term prosperity. Legacy gifts play a crucial role by helping to bring the Corps’ story to life in a state-of-the-art National Museum and Heritage Center and preserving the stories of selfl ess service that will educate generations of Americans. If you name the Foundation as a benefi ciary of your estate plan, please let us know so we can thank you for your benevolence and welcome you to the 1775 Society. For more information on enrollment into the 1775 Society, or on gift opportunities, please contact Gayle Union, Planned Giving Offi cer, Marine Corps Heritage Foundation, 3800 Fettler Park Drive, Suite 104, Dumfries, VA 22025, phone 703.586.7463, or email union@marineheritage.org.

“Th e museum’s art collection for wounded

Marines is a wonderful project for teachers

to work on with their students, or for

parents to do with their kids,” said Dr.

Barbara Daniels, 2010-11 teacher-in-

residence, National Museum of the Marine

Corps. “Drawing pictures for our wounded

warriors teaches children important lessons

about caring and allows them to create

something that shows their support for

our Marines.”

Children who participated drew a picture

and wrote a supportive message on an

8 ½” x 11” piece of paper and included their

name, hometown, and grade level.

Th e response was overwhelming!

“We have a lot of hallways to cover, and

I’m looking to our nation’s young artists to

help,” said LtGen Ron Christmas, president

and CEO of the Marine Corps Heritage

Foundation. “I know how much it will

mean to our recovering wounded Marines,

to know that we are thinking about them,

and it will be especially meaningful to know

that young Americans hold them in their

thoughts and want to brighten their day.”

Th e Wounded Warrior wing of the

National Naval Medical Center (NNMC)

is a dedicated area for men and women

recovering from injuries sustained in battle.

NNMC provides medical services for every

injured Sailor and Marine returning to the

continental United States from Iraq and

Afghanistan. Since 2003, NNMC has cared

for more than 2,000 American uniformed

service members wounded in war. Wounded

Warrior regiment on Marine Corps Base

Quantico also distributed art work since

the response was so grand. Marines here in

the United States and abroad had a chance

to see the support from school children

everywhere!

Stay tuned to our website and Facebook

page to fi nd out about the 2011 Art for

Wounded Marines program! ★

Last year, the National Museum of the Marine Corps sent out a call to all young artists, asking for their help in decorating the walls of

the Wounded Warrior wing of the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. The museum sponsored a collection of children’s original artwork to brighten both the medical center’s hallways and the spirits of its resident wounded heroes. All children who enjoy drawing, painting, or coloring were encouraged to show their support for America’s Marines by submitting their original works.

Th e Colonel Robert D. Heinl, Jr. Award

is given in memory of the distinguished

Marine Corps offi cer, journalist, and

historian. He was a founder of the Heritage

Foundation and author of Soldiers of the Sea.

Th e award is given to the author of the best

article pertinent to Marine Corps history

published in a newspaper, magazine, journal,

or other periodical during the preceding

year. Th is year’s recipient is Ms. Lauren

Armstrong for her article on Montford

Point Marines.

Sergeant Major Bradley Kasal received

the Navy Cross for heroic actions performed

as the First Sergeant of Weapons Company,

3rd Battalion, 1st Marines, during a fi refi ght

in Operation Phantom Fury in Fallujah, Iraq

on November 13, 2004. Despite receiving

47 wounds and losing 60% of his blood

supply, SgtMaj Kasal walked out of the

fi ght, pistol in hand. Th e photo captured

went on to become an iconic image. Th is

image inspired our committee to create the

Sergeant Major Bradley Kasal Award for

a distinguished example of still photography

by an individual, in black and white or color,

which consists of a collection of photographs

capturing U.S. Marines or Marine Corps life.

Th e fi rst recipient of this award is Marine

Lance Corporal Carlos Sanchez.

Th e Colonel John H. Magruder III Award is named for the fi rst director of

the Marine Corps Museum. Th is award is

given to an individual or an organization

that makes available to the public an exhibit

pertaining to Marine Corps history. Th e

exhibit portrays panels, text, art and/or

artifacts at a traveling or fi xed location. Our

2011 recipient is the late Mr. John Gerber

for his eff orts to honor the Marine Corps in

building the “Pacifi c War Museum” on the

island of Guam.

On December 6, 2006, Major Megan

McClung was serving as a public aff airs

offi cer in Al Anbar Province, Iraq, escorting

Newsweek journalists into downtown

Ramadi when an IED destroyed the

Humvee she was riding in and instantly

killed her. Megan grew up in a military

family—her grandfathers both served in

the military, and her father was a Marine

Corps infantry offi cer during Vietnam.

She followed in their footsteps and went

to the United States Naval Academy and

received her commission in 1995. Megan is

the fi rst female Marine Corps Offi cer killed

in combat in the Iraq War. Her spirit and

dedication to the Marine Corps is exactly

why the committee chose to name the

following award after her. Th e Major Megan McClung Award is for a distinguished

example of reporting by an individual

covering U.S. Marines abroad. Th e fi rst

recipient of this award is Dan Lamothe for

his reporting in 2010 on Marine operations

in and around Marjah.

Th e Brigadier General Edwin Simmons-Henry I. Shaw Award is

for superior historical scholarship by a

member of the United States Marine Corps

Historical Division staff . Th is year’s fi rst

recipient is Dr. Nicholas Schlosser. Dr.

Schlosser is a graduate of the University

of Maryland’s history doctoral program

in 2008 and was hired by the History

Division shortly thereafter. Th is year, Dr.

Schlosser’s history production rate has

been truly extraordinary. He edited three

separate books dealing with Operation Iraqi

Freedom or the topic of Counterinsurgency

Warfare and he co-authored another book

in conjunction with the U.S. Army’s Combat

Studies Institute at Fort Leavenworth,

KS, relating to how the Marine Corps

transformed itself in preparation for the

conduct of counterinsurgency operations

in the Middle East and Afghanistan. He

has an unbounded future with the USMC

History Division.

John Andrew Prime’s article “60th

Anniversary of Korean War send-off

approaches” won this year’s General Oliver P. Smith Award for a distinguished example

of local news reporting by an individual

that illuminates the U.S. Marine Corps

relationship with local communities.

Marine Colonel (Ret.) Edward Condra

won the Colonel John W. Th omason, Jr. Award for excellence in the fi ne or applied

arts depicting the historic or contemporary

Marine Corps. Th e award was established

in memory of this decorated combat offi cer,

known for his artwork illustrating Marines

in World War I, China, and Latin America.

With eight published books, a decorated

military career to include a Navy Cross,

Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, and two

Purple Hearts, a post-military career

spanning multiple administrations, Senator

Jim Webb exudes the Marine Corps ethos.

Senator Webb has been a long-time advocate

for the military. Th is year our committee

created the James Webb Award for

distinguished fi ction dealing with

U.S. Marines or Marine Corps life. Th e

2011 recipient is Karl Marlantes for his

book Matterhorn. ★

Were it not for the Marine Corps, Dr. Bruce Heilman believes he would

still be milking cows in Kentucky. From high school drop-out to Chancellor of the University of Richmond—his proudest accomplishment still is making buck sergeant in the Marine Corps during WWII. He displays his loyalty to the Corps on his

gleaming Harley-Davidson Patriot Edition bike—a Marine Corps emblem is permanently affi xed to the gas tank and on his leather jacket. “We must preserve our Corps’ heritage, which is why I included the Foundation in my estate plan. Each of us can honor the legacy of Marines and provide future support for the National Museum of the Marine Corps”.

Help secure our Museum’sfuture today.

expectations by an amazing 700 percent.

Th e branch also recently concluded a

strategic Memorandum of Understanding

(MOU) with the Center for Naval Analysis

(CNA). Partnering with CNA will enable

the Division to further increase its output

of historical material on Operations Iraqi

Freedom and Enduring Freedom in the

coming years.

As previously mentioned, the Reference

Branch is now led by Annette Amerman.

Annette has been with the Division for

some time now, originally starting work here

as a branch intern. Annette is following in

the footsteps of her mentor, Bob Aquilina,

and now that she is acting branch head

continues to produce the same high quality

work product. No inquiry is too hard or

insignifi cant and all receive the same amount

of attention to detail that is deserved. More

often, Annette goes above and beyond the

call of duty in providing critical information

on a wide variety of Marine Corps history

topics. Th e branch remains in the middle

of a major eff ort to digitize most of the

Division’s extensive collection of historical

publications and reference fi les.

Th e Division’s smallest branch, Field

History, continues to deploy Marine

reservists to the Afghan theater on a regular

basis. Th ese important historians then

return to the Division and summarize

their in-theater collection eff orts so that we

have the documentation and oral histories

to write future Marine Corps operational

history. Th eir service and “can-do” attitude is

appreciated by all.

In sum, the Division continues to scale

new heights each year. Th e only thing that

remains lacking is a fi nal home for this high

performing organization–and this critical

defi ciency should soon be remedied once

the Simmons wing becomes a reality. Th e

coming years will likely be ones of fi scal

austerity for the entire Marine Corps but

the History Division has no intention of

slowing down its productivity rate and

will seek alternative budgetary solutions

and perhaps some manpower reallocation

in order to ensure that we not fall behind

in preserving, promoting, and publishing

Marine Corps history. ★

State of Marine Corps History

picking up artifacts at other museums, including the Navy Museum and the Commandant’s House. My favorite was a trip to the ATF [Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms Museum] where a collection of thousands of fi rearms, including one of kind pieces, are housed. These trips allowed me to compare the display and storage of artifacts in different collections with different purposes. Working with the aviation curators has given me the chance to get my hands on Marine Corps history. I saw the lifecycle of an artifact from selection to placing it in the collection. I was invited to a collections meeting, where curators decide which artifacts are accepted into the museum’s collection. Items pertaining to a Marine pilot killed in the line of duty were accessioned into the collection. Later, I made catalogue fi les for them, which contain the history of each item. Then I took the items from temporary storage and re-housed them for storage in the permanent collection. This Marine’s memory is now a part of the collective memory of the National Museum of the Marine Corps.

This summer I have gained fi rsthand experience in what it takes to make a world-class museum collection. From paperwork to research, to transporting and re-housing artifacts, to catalogue and fi ling systems, I have received a well rounded look at museum collections that will serve me well in attaining my goal. I am proud to have contributed to this museum.”

While most of the interns worked on

behind-the-scenes projects that materially

improve the condition of the collections, Ms.

Julia Monahan focused on media projects

that are designed to increase public interest

and visitor attendance.

Ms. Monahan, a gifted and award-

winning business and fi lm student at the

University of Virginia, writes:

“As an intern in the Public Affairs department, I have been learning the importance of public relations in maintaining the reputation and daily events of the museum. I interviewed OCS candidates and wrote an article about their visit to the museum for the “More than Scuttlebutt” museum newsletter. I also wrote a fi ve-minute script for an updated fi lm that includes the newest exhibits in the

museum and have been helping to update local newspapers and online calendars about upcoming events at the museum. My latest project has been to assist with interviews of museum patrons to create a video presenting [their] reactions to the newer exhibits, such as the interactive Belleau Wood experience in the World War I gallery. After compiling and editing the interviews, they will become a publicity video to be posted on the museum’s Facebook page.”

At the end of each intern season we

gather lessons learned, review the Museum’s

strategic plan, and start thinking how to

best employ the next batch of gifted and

talented collegiate interns. Next year we will

focus on researching, writing, and starting to

design the Phase 2 exhibits. We are looking

forward to hearing how the Global War

on Terror has aff ected a group of emerging

professionals who grew up during America’s

longest war. Th eir fresh perspectives will be

critical in the Museum’s ability to reach that

generation in a meaningful way. Th is would

not be possible without the gracious and

generous support off ered by MCHF. ★
